A breeze of summer

While digging through last summer's files, I found a few picture that I didn't remember taking/thought I had lost. I thought I would share them here.

Last summer was a busy one, but we still made time to come to the lake nearby at least once a week. I loved all the beautiful plants and scenes there, sunsets on the lake being my favorite. Every time I went there it seemed like there was something new I had never noticed before.

Once I spent extra time on the beach wondering around snapping, and exclaiming over the beauty around me. The lily pads were blooming, and bees were buzzing around them, slowly, I noticed (a photographer dream, no?). I love the way they turned out.

Another day we went to the park. I had the camera, as usual, and happened to be wearing my favorite pair of flip-flops. It was early evening. The sunlight was just perfect. Don't you think?

Last fall we took a short trip. On the way we stopped at a scenic view point. I grabbed the camera out of the trunk, and snapped a few pictures. The view took my breath away.

I took this picture one morning. I went out early when the dew was still on the grass. Is there anything better than water droplets and green grass?

Finishing off with a picture we took from the top of a hill we climbed once. It was so beautiful. You could see for miles.

I'm Thankful

I thank you God, for autumn days,
when chilly winds are high,
and leaves fall to the ground below,
blowing against the cerulean sky.

I thank you God, for friends dear,
that are always in our hearts,
for memories that last a lifetime,
for the ones about to start.

I thank you God, for the family,
that you have given to me,
For all the ways they've cared,
and shaped me to who I'm meant to be.

I thank you God, for today,
and all the years of faith,
help me in the coming days,
to steadfastly run the race.

I thank you God, for your Son,
that came to earth for us,
who died to give forgiveness of sin,
to all who in His name will trust.

Snapshot Saturday Finalists

There were only 4 entries in the photo contest, so I decided to only have 2 finalists. I loved all of the entries! My Dad, who has done some professional photography, and helps me a lot with my photography, helped me pick the finalists. You could say he was my guest judge. :) Great photos everyone!
